However, a few people were so impressed with the stunning performance of Rashid Khan that they wanted him to get the citizenship of India, so that he can play from India’s side in the upcoming World Cup 2019. No, not just that, people even started requesting the government for the same.
Have a look at some of the tweets of Indians asking Sushma Swaraj to give citizenship to Rashid Khan:-

As soon as Sushma Swaraj read these tweets, she couldn’t stop herself from replying. However, she deleted her tweet later for some unknown reasons but her sense of humor in the tweet is something you can’t miss. Have a look at her reply:
Her tweet read:
“I have seen all the tweets. Citizenship matters are dealt with by the ministry of Home Affairs.”
Seems like she is also impressed with the great performances of this young cricketer and who wouldn’t? He is incredible.
